Today's Annoyance was
Ok lemme start off by sayin', this is tha second time today in which I have made this entry! LOL Tha 1st time, merely more then 1/2 way thru, my damn comp. froze up, b4 I was able ta save tha wrk. in which I had already done, it had restarted itself! Bummer ta me, cuz I was on a roll too. Whence somethin' really urks me I get it dwn or heard somehow.
Ok today I had ta get my van tagged for tha 1st time. Tha tags were like merely 2 months due. I kept forgettin about it or was just to damn busy ta get it done. Anyhow my chidren & I arrive perty early.Like 8:45am the DMV didn't open 'til 9 There was already a line formin' outside. Tha weather here was 89* @ this time! And it wasnt' gonna let up anytime soon.Especially this early in tha mornin'. Anyhoo my youngest daughter KK had in her hand an emptied Sonic cup. From whence she was drinkin' her O.J. out of. My son who isn't even 1 yr of age yet, had a spill proof sippy cup in his hand, which had water in it. OK FRICKIN" WATER PEOPLE! my son, not even 1 with a cup of WATER! check it! This fat old chic puts her hand in front of my daughter to stop her from entering the building & says,"You can't bring that in here! No food or drinks of any kind are allowed in here!" my daughter then tells her,"But my cup is empty, I'm gonna throw it in tha trash." "No you are not! You're just gonna leave that cup rt. out here & we'll get it later!" KK then tells her,"But it's trash I need ta put it where it belongs, it don't belong on the ground." At this point my blood was startin' ta boil perty good so of course I had ta step in. I told tha lady,"Unlike alotta people,I'm sure, I teach my children ta put trash in it's place & not ta litter!. So if you dont' mind she'd like ta put her trash where it belongs in tha trash can." I then took tha emptied cup from KK, walked in & str8 over to tha can & put it just there.Turned bk. 2 tha lady & said,"Now if you are so insistant on the cup bein' on the other side of that door & on the ground, then please, feel free to place it there yourself! In the mean time, I wish you not try engcouraging my child to litter!" She then turned to my son's cup in his hand & made sure to address that as well. As soon as my child was done taking a drink I asked him for his cup & told him what I was about ta do & y. Of course I made it a point ta grasp the attention of others whom were there as well, ta take note of just how much of a Bitch this woman was bein'. Especially to an infant. I took my son's cup & emptied the water rt. there @ the womans' feet. I then explained to him there was something I had ta take care of & will get it done as soon as possible, then we'd all go & get somethin' ta drink. Maybe some juice or an ice-cream shake since it was so hot. He looked @ me as if he understood & it was ok. I think ice-cream is very well known in any childs language! It seems ta always put a smile upon one's face. Of course then again I think it puts a smile on anyone's face, regardless of age. Somethin' about ice-cream that just takes all troubles & worries away in tha duration in which it takes to finish it. Like an escape period, away from one's own life troubles. LOL (there's my daily thought 4 tha day!)
Anyhoo, bk. to this day's anooyances! Once inside the building, low & behold what ever shall I spot there, in tha so callled lobby,none other then a HUGE COKE MACHINE! In clear view! Yeah gran it wasn't plugged in. But tha fact that I knew just a few months ago it was plugged in, lights were shining bright, callin out ta you just as you sit waiting to get tha hell out of that place! Waiting ta reliev you, of what ever change, may be weighin' dwn yer pockets.
While I was waiting, I happened ta take notice of tha way tha chairs had been set. All aproximately 2ft. apart from another. On the rt. side of tha room the chairs were towards tha left side of tha room. Those chairs on the left side of the room, were facing towards the front of the counter. Now the rt. side was specifically designated for those who had ta deal with the plates. Those on tha lt. were those who had ta deal with their drivers license. Now on the left side of this room, there were 3 tables lined up side-side up against tha wall. On these tables were some sort of info. forms that were ta be filled out by those who needed them. There was also a 2 page info. form about the new CCW drivers license & laws & what not, taped down onto tha table. Next to that was a hand written sign that said," If you want more information regarding the CCW issue then ask the driver's license lady." Then all over the place I saw hand written signs that were written in bold letters some of them said," NO FOOD or DRINKS of ANY KIND ALLOWED what so ever!" Others were,"DO NOT MOVE MY CHAIRS! SIT BUT NOT MOVE!" Ok first off! WHAT THA F**K?!! come on people this is suppose ta be a professional place of business, so I thought. These signs are FAR from bein' considered as bein' put in a professional manner. I thought automatically I had just walked into a pre-teens room. Ya know there ya got all kinds of tha hand written & made signs all over tha walls & doors. AE "KEEP OUT OR ELSE!" lol ya know those type of signs r ok fer yer house NOT a place of business. Ok well b4 I go on about more of these stupid, ignorant signs lets go bk. to tha table, chair & tha chair sign issue here. Due to lack of available chairs on tha license side of tha room, I sat on tha left side. This HUGE, atleast 400lb., chic asks me if she could help me. I smiled @ her & said, "No thank you I'm just waiting to get tags for my van." WHAT WAS HER FUCKING REPLY? "Well then you need to sit over on tha other side of the room, this side is for drivers license customers only!""Pardon me mam, but to me it shouldn't matter as ta who sits where as long as their business is conducted & taken care of. If your vision was any good u wud clearly see there aren't any available seats on that side of tha room." She shook her head as she looked over & said ,"ok" leaving it @ that. Now on those tables were pens & blank forms & what not. As it was my turn & I was up @ tha counter, reading more ignorantly posted signs, this woman walks over to tha tables, along side tha wall. Now keep in mind these chairs are aproximately 2 feet away from tha table. This woman has a blank form in her hand along with an ink pen. A beach bag lookin purse over her shoulder. She leans over the table after puttin dwn. her paper & starts ta write. This hurting her back & being bothersome to her, I'm sure, she looks behind her & pulls a chair closer to tha table, sits & starts to continue filling out her form. Tha next thing I know I hear tha HUGE 400lb. drivers license lady tell her,"M'am you need to put my chairs back,please don't move them" as she says this she giggles & smiles,"I mean there are signs that clearly say not to move my chairs. They are posted all over tha place. I mean I'm sorry but I'd really appreciate it if you wouldn't move them out of their places." This lady replied with a smile & said,"O ok I just needed to fill out this form &." before tha lady was able ta continue what she was gonna say tha license lady was shaking her head as if that was her way of saying,"lady I dont' wanna hear it, just do as I said & put tha chair bk. in it's place." So she dropped it, put tha chair bk. from whence it came & moved to another chair. I was discusted by this time, my stomach was startin' ta churn. I turned to tha ladies that were in tha process of helping me out & asked if they had a book or a clipboard or anything hard ta write on for the lady who was wishing to fill out her form before it was her turn. I was told no. So I then asked for a phonebook, surely they had a phone book in this place, or so I'd thought, though no, they hadn't one of those either. I cudn't help but ta roll my eyes bk. & say," Ok, whatever."
Now tha signs that were taped onto tha counter had been printed out by a computer. Here's what they had said," We have the right to, for any reason what so ever, refuse services to you or anyone that you may be accompaning and ask you to leave the premesis without giving you the reason other then we say to do so" Ok now this sign I have seen in other places only they were more along tha lines of bein' put in a more professionalism manner, then what this one was. Another read,"Parents keep your children under control DO NOT allow them to run, jump,play or speak loudly. Failure to do so will result in your removal from these peremisses." Another one, "No running,jumping,horseplaying on, around or near any chairs. Voices are to be kept in a whisper tone at all times.Parents make sure you instrict these rules upon your children. Failure to do so will have you removed from this building."
Once again, "WHAT THA F**K?!" COME ON PEOPLE GIVE ME A FRICKIN" BR8K HERE! First off having a type of business, rather ya work for one or own/operate one or whatever. A business is gonna require customer relations. Meaning you have ta deal with people & their children if they so have any. If it gets to tha point ta where u feel all of these stupid ignorant signs are necessary then that should tell ya something. HELLLLOOOOO it's time ta get out of business. No business, no worries, no need ta even deal with those people who are obviously gettin' on yer nerves! And for those people who have those children who are unable to present themselves in a well mannered way! SEEK COUNSELING! 2 better your parenting skills! The children are reflections of our parenting abilities. Teach them well & proper. Learn about that thing called R-E-S-P-E-C-T! teach it as well.
So for this day,....THESE SIGNS & THESE PARTICULAR PEOPLE,...................REALLY ANNOYED ME!!
